It was a great day of "Live from Space" on the National Geographic Channel, a live two-hour TV event by National Geographic and NASA to showcase what life really is like when for astronauts in space. The unprecedented live show, which airs tonight (March 14) at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, aims to bring space down to Earth for viewers like never before.

Last update (10 pm ET): That's a wrap for "Live From Space" on the National Geographic Channel. Wow, where did two hours go? Seems like it flew by as fast as the International Space Station orbits the Earth (hey, wait…it did). Die-hard space fans may have seen much of the show's features before, but seeing them all together, and with such candor, makes it all fresh again for the newcomer and veteran space fan alike. Space.com's Miriam Kramer will have a wrap up of tonight's space TV event later.
